Pneumatically agitated slurry reactors, including bubble column reactors and airlift loop
reactors (ALRs), are important gas–liquid–solid multiphase reactors. These reactors have …

Airlift reactor (ALR) is a gas-liquid contact apparatus widely used in industrial applications
due to its simple design, absence of moving parts and relatively low energy consumption …

With the dramatic increase in the international oil price, gas-to-liquid processes of Fischer−
Tropsch (FT) synthesis, methanol synthesis, and dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis have …

Airlift bioreactors can provide an attractive alternative to stirred tanks, particularly for
bioprocesses with gaseous reactants or products. Frequently, however, they are susceptible …

This paper documents experiments and CFD simulations of the hydrodynamics of our two-
phase (water, air) laboratory internal loop airlift reactor (40l). The experiments and …

The hydrodynamics of two configurations of internal airlift reactors, both with a riser diameter
of 0.1 m, operating with an air–water system, have been experimentally investigated for a …

Two-and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) simulations of an airlift reactor under steady state
conditions at low gas flow rates are presented. The simulations are based on a two-fluid …

The two‐fluid formulation with closure models for interfacial forces and turbulence is applied
to the evaluation of a meandering plume in a rectangular bubble column. In literature there …

Biorefinery systems play a critical role in the transition towards a sustainable bioeconomy,
and bioreactors are a key component in these systems. While mechanically stirred reactors …

The present study summarizes the results of macro-and micro-mixing characteristics in an
airlift internal loop reactor with low aspect ratio (H/D≤ 5) using the electrolytic tracer …
